Why aren't new episodes of drama series like Midsomer Murders, New Tricks and Heartbeat aired in the summer?

TVO offers new episodes of these series during the fall/winter period, beginning at the end of September through to the end of March, followed by a repeat broadcast of each season through the spring and summer months, providing two opportunities every year to screen these popular programs in prime time.

Why does TVO issue emergency alerts and what should I do?

On March 31, 2015 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) made it mandatory for all broadcasters to issue emergency alerts to the public to warn of dangers to life and property. Emergency alerts are only issued by public officials such as fire marshals, police officers and public health personnel. In the event of an alert please contact emergency management services or refer to your local news channel for more information. Please note that TVO is responsible for distributing the alert but does not have any additional information regarding the content of the emergency alert.
